Along with Dr. Jerry Vockley and INFORM, it was such an honor for us to host the second International Metabolic Conference for families affected by Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders. The conference was attended by over 400 people representing more than 20 countries. We look forward to connecting with all members of the FAOD community beyond the conference and continuing to grow our support for families affected by FAODs. If you missed any of the conference sessions, or would like to listen to them again, check out our International Metabolic Conference Playlist on YouTube.

More information and applications will be available in October as we get ready to grant a wish to the first set of families by providing a one-week, cost free vacation at Give Kids the World Village in Orlando, Florida!

MitoSocials help connect families with other mito families. These low-key, relaxed virtual gatherings allow mito families to meet each other, share stories, give and get support, and realize they’re not alone on this journey.
